The Radiothon For Life has once again seen strong support from the local community, with $252,044.32 being raised to support the St. Joseph's Hospital Foundation here in Estevan.

Donations were accepted from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with a free lunch being held over noon and from 5 to 7 p.m.

This year, the funds raised are going towards the MRI project, which looks to bring an MRI machine to Estevan to cut down on wait times and speed up the growing wait list. 

The Estevan community is just starting to make sense of what the newest federal election will mean for the southeast, with businesses and community leaders looking towards the future. The policies that the federal government will focus on could determine the future for Estevan and its surrounding communities.

For RM of Estevan Reeve Jason LeBlanc, the re-election of the Liberal Party of Canada wasn't great, but they still managed to send a message.

St. Joseph's Hospital is advancing to a new stage of its MRI project, which has seen fundraising and plans in the southeast over the past year. Now they're making plans for the design and eventual construction of the machine, which would expand Estevan's medical capabilities.

Corey Miller, CEO of Emmanuel Health, talks about the new steps they're taking to get that set up.

The 88th edition of the McLeod series is kicking off tonight as the Estevan and Weyburn senior Boys and Girls teams face off tonight for the first two of their four matches.

For the first time in a while, the Estevan teams are heading into the matches as the reigning champions, hoping to hold onto the title through the games.

An upcoming plebiscite is looking to gauge the community's opinions on a new ice surface, with one community organization looking to make its voice known.

The Estevan Minor Hockey Association sent out a release voicing their support for a new ice surface here in Estevan. President Stephen Truman says that they hope to let people know just how badly another surface is needed.
